Quirks & beliefs - Part I (Of many, I'm sure)

Original date: January 29, 2006 (started on 2005/11/11)

You don't know it yet, but I like parenthetical comments - sort of like voices in my own head, but not quite (I hope! See, your first glimpse of it already.). The other thing you need to know is I really don't like air-quotes. Real quotes are acceptable - and in many cases necessary - unless one's a plagiarist (Please see my very first sentence of - and, here it comes - "My first thoughts...".). You may notice places already in this brief note where many people would place quotes in writing or use them when saying them. Just stop thinking about it.

I'll stop now.

Well, maybe just two more things. I'm not a big fan of exclamation points either, except where appropriate. Again, see my first sentence in "My first thoughts...." Finally, I tend to use the words hope and hopefully regularly and only in the meaning of having hope or full of hope, not in the sense of expecting the worst. At least, that's optimistic, don't you think?
